"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes." Hugh Downs~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A woman pregnant with her first child paid a visit to her obstetrician's office.

After the exam, she shyly said, "My husband wants me to ask you...," to which the doctor replies, "I know, I know," placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I get asked that all the time. Sex is fine until late in the pregnancy."

"No, that's not it," the woman confessed. "He wants to know if I can still mow the lawn."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?"

"What dear?" She asked gently.

"I think you bring me bad luck."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Standing at the edge of the lake, a man saw a woman flailing about in the deep water. Unable to swim, the man screamed for help. A trout fisherman ran up.

The man said, "My wife is drowning and I can't swim. Please save her. I'll give you a hundred dollars." The fisherman dove into the water. In ten powerful strokes, he reached the woman, put his arm around her, and swam back to shore.

Depositing her at the feet of the man, the fisherman said, "Okay, where's my hundred dollars?"

The man said, "Look, when I saw her going down for the third time, I thought it was my wife. But this is my mother-in-law."

The fisherman reached into his pocket and said, "Just my luck. How much do I owe you?"~~~~~~~~~~~~

A female officer arrests a drunk. She warns him, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you."

The drunk replies, "Boobs."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria,BC recently was faced with a unique problem.

A number of grade 12 girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back.

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes to a counter in a dept. store and asks -"W-w-w-where`s the m-m-m-men`s dep-p-p-partment?"

The salesman then reaches into his briefcase and pulls out 2 brownies and begins munching away on one of them. He tells the irate guy -"Sir, please share one of my brownies since I have annoyed you so much".

Unwrapping the brownie, the guy takes a bite; suddenly, the guys spits it out and says:"HEY," he snarled, "this brownie tastes like it's full of onions!!!"

John was a clerk in a small drugstore but he was not much of a salesman. He could never find the item the customer wanted.

Bob, the owner, had about enough and warned John that the next sale he missed would be his last.

Just then a man came in coughing and he ask John for their best cough syrup. Try as he might John could not find the cough syrup. Remembering Bob's warning he sold the man a box of Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once.

The customer did as John said and then walked outside and leaned against a lamp post.

Bob had seen the whole thing and came over to ask John what had transpired.

"He wanted something for his cough but I couldn't find the cough syrup. I substituted Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once" John explained.

"Ex-Lax won't cure a cough!" Bob shouted angrily.

"Sure it will" John said, pointing at the man leaning on the lamp post."Just look at him. He's afraid to cough!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man who isn't qualified keeps pestering this tailor about giving him a job selling suits. Finally, the owner tells him if he can sell this one green suit he will give him a job.

Another employee points out to owner that they have had that suit on the rack for four years, and that it is such an ugly, green suit that nobody would ever buy it.

The owner replies, "Yah, I know. That's my way of getting rid of that pest!"

Two hours later the new guy calls his boss for his next assignment.The owner cannot believe it and heads down to the store to see how this fellow did it. Upon arrival he sees his new salesman bleeding, scratched, and his clothes torn in several places, but smiling.

"Congratulations, the job is yours! Nobody has come close to selling that old, ugly, green suit.But tell me, what in the world happened to you?"

"Well, replied the salesman, the guy that bought the suit loved it... said it fit him great.As far as my injuries go, he had this really sensitive seeing-eye dog!"

Good morning everyboomie.

I'm trying to get this posted while I still have some kind of a signal.

Remember that surprise I had for you? Here it comes......

IT'S THE "T" WORD!!!!!

Happy TGIF everybody!

Any more excitement and I'll be in the chiropractors office all day.

Actually it's back to work for me. hoo-ray!

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, & Monday and then off Tuesday & Thursday . I lose my Monday/Tuesday off, and then after Thanksgiving I lose my Saturday/Sunday off.

It is still evening and we have great news about Moxie. She has hyperthyroid and we will be putting her on medication tomorrow. All the rest of the blood tests came out good. Otherwise, she is a healthy 16 year old cat. We should start seeing some results in a couple of weeks.

Now, it is music time, a good book and a fire.

Nite all.

Joe, I love your quote today! If only everyone would understand that! I am sorry you lost your days off. I imagine you will be busy till after the holidays.

Bets, I am very happy for you!

L4L, have a great day!

I was supposed to go back to the corner yesterday but I didn't so maybe today is the day. I have Zumba first thing in the morning and then we will play it by ear. The vet wants me to cut back some of Merlin's running. I just do not think he will stand for it.

Good Morning Joe, Bets, l4l, Ana, Haroula, And Cailyn. Keep smiling Joe and work will go by faster. Bets glad to hear your kitty is going to be okay. L4L how are you doing? Ana Have a stress free day. Haroula hope your weather is sunny. Cailyn your up early! Wishing everyone a Great Day!

Ana: what a great pic of the buck. That's soooo magic. I got your email this time. Will answer it today.

Bets: I'am so happy about the Moxie results. Give her a cuddle please.

Yesterday I had another fright: I was working on my computer and wanted to save a file on my USB stick (the one I use for every picture, every schooling video and every file regarding my ceramics) and suddenly the system said: "can't read the device". Badest luck of all: I didn't have a backup. Yes, you can call me every word that's forbidden on GB and you would be right An IT friend of ours tried to recover the data, with no positive result. Today he is trying it again on another system and I pray and hope he can recover the data. Otherwise it would be disaster... How can an otherwise smart girl like me do such a stupid thing and don't have a backup I don't understand. I know it's not the end of the world but...... >sigh<

Anyway, I wish you a happy day and pleeeeeease do backups!... and don't forget to smile....

Evelyne
